The War on Drugs (especially pot smokers) is a socialist, anti-freedom program. Live it, learn it, love it.
WOD ping
Give it up. It's a cultural issue, not a government issue. Since pot smokers are perceived to be liberals, they are fair game for the right. Rush can suck down cigars, pop pills, and get divorced 4 times and he's a pillar of the community, but smoke a bone with some friends and you deserve jail time. That's your culture war for you.
but pot smokers eat all the rice crispy treats and drive soooo fast
That's basically about it; deep down people don't want to give the people who they perceive smoke pot the satisfaction of legalization (long-haired hippies) rather than any really rational reason for not ending this part of the WOD.
They talk funny too man...
Unfortunately, when 700,000+ Americans are arrested annually for pot while illegal aliens continue to pour across the border and terror cells plot their next move, it most certainly is a government issue.
A government with a very poor sense of priorities, that is.

"but pot smokers eat all the rice crispy treats and drive soooo fast"
Based upon the stoners I've known in years past, you're right on the money with the rice crispy treats, but drive fast? Nope, it's very, very careful, with the perfect tunes on, and dead on the speed limit. Too paranoid to go either too fast or too slow. Just don't let them get distracted (which happens very easily).
ditto
Certainly mis-ordered priorities, at the *very* least.
As far as I can tell, um, uh, hmm....what were we talking about?
Yep. Big business doesn't want it legalized either. The booze companies (and the tax man too) would lose out since you can grow killer weed in your backyard.
Sounds like we know the same people! One of my friends gets so paranoid you can't even talk to him.
I'd rather be in a car with a pot smoker than a person who is drunk. It's safer.
You would be paranoid too if you knew what you were doing could get you arrested.
Personally, I'd get out and walk.
I don't partake myself, preferring my cigarettes and my beer. I also do not drive when I have been drinking, a lesson I learned the hard way.
I have very little control over what my friends do, and that's the way it should be.
I prefer to take a cab, myself.
"Sounds like we know the same people! One of my friends gets so paranoid you can't even talk to him."
I hope you're not driving around with your buddies under the influence. I think it would be wise to advise your friend to sober up before driving.
i've always said that i would rather my 2 kids smoke a joint than take 1 drink of booze.
the penalty is not worth it. when they were babies i gave up my 7 year ounce a day habit and am now soooo much better off with my 25 year, pint a day fix.
either way i still get the munchies and gotta have my
slim jim, tabasco sauce loaded dorito fix.
any one got any fried food laying around?
